Yes, the deaths and serious illness will be just the cost of doing business. Shameless.

RFK's new CDC appointee shrugs off the potential loss of the U.S.’ measles-elimination status and deflects blame to other countries.
“It’s just the cost of doing business with our borders being somewhat porous.”

So the discussion about DC and Puerto Rico statehood is not about whether it makes sense or not in terms of policy, but rather how they would vote. Very Republican.
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Why do they depend on federal funding? I think that's the equivalent of receiving welfare. They should get off their asses, work and start being self-sufficient without relying on handouts.
“The Kentucky Hospital Association warns that without state and federal intervention, healthcare facilities across the state will be forced to reduce services, lay off medical staff, and in some cases, shut down completely…That's not fearmongering. It's simply a fact”.
Kentucky hospital group warns of closures, reduced services, job losses due to Medicaid cuts
Healthcare in Kentucky is facing a tough future with billions in Medicaid cuts on the horizon, according to the Kentucky Hospital Association.

FT NOTES
- Cubas is back, good game by Utvik
- Those missed chances always come back to haunt you.
- Nelson very frustrating in his decision making. Great dribbler, but nothing comes out of it.
- A point away vs. a top team is not bad, but the Whitecaps should have won it.
